Gushing About Writing You Like (Sugar Wiki): Difference between revisions

 

 

* [[Russell T. Davies]]' writing on ''[[Torchwood]] Children of Earth'' was amazingly effective. The discussion the politicians had about what to do {{spoiler|and which children to sacrifice}} was painfully well observed.

* [[Steven Moffat]] is the god of [[Mood Whiplash]] on ''[[Doctor Who]]''. And ''[[Nightmare Fuel|he]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|makes]] [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|it]] [[Tear Jerker|work]].''

** Seconded: The writers are absolutely fantastic. Even for a show with [[Complete Monster/Criminal Minds|a lot of Complete Monsters]], there are still those [[Criminal Minds/Funny|very funny moments]] and [[Friendship Moment]]s to keep everything fun. Nothing is boring in this show.

* ''[[Burn Notice]]''. It's a spy drama that plays straight many of the tropes associated with spy dramas, but does so in brilliant ways that make them feel fresh and unique. The gambits concocted in each episode and over each season are very clever without being confusing or [[Xanatos Roulette|unbelieveable]]. The characters and their interaction are well-written. And of course, I can't talk about ''[[Burn Notice]]'' without mentioning just how much the writers know about spies and subject areas of interest to spies (surveillance, rigging explosions, infil/exfiltration, interrogation, reverse interrogation, gaining a mark's trust, etc.). This show is one of the best examples of [[Shown Their Work]] that I've ever seen. In fact, it's almost hard to believe that the writers weren't spies themselves at some point. Nearly everything about the show is amazing, but the writing is without doubt the best part.
